DENVER, Colorado--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Liberty Global plc (“Liberty Global”) (NASDAQ: LBTYA, LBTYB, LBTYK, LILA
and LILAK) announced the winners of its 2015 Vendor Awards at the
Liberty Global Technology Summit at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, the
Netherlands on September 16. Senior executives from more than a hundred
key vendor partners attended the event together with Liberty Global's
management teams in the areas of technology, IT, product development and
procurement.

Liberty Global recognized its partners’ achievements in five categories:
Best Product & Service Quality, Best Support & After Sales, Best
Innovation & Breakthrough, Most Sustainable Supplier and PartnerSpark.

The award for Best Product & Service Quality was won by Huawei, the Best
Support & After Sales award was won by Prodapt, the award for Best
Innovation & Breakthrough went to Alcatel Lucent and the Most
Sustainable Supplier award was won by Cisco. The award for PartnerSpark
was handed out to Dell. Spark is Liberty Global’s innovation initiative
designed to source and refine ideas in response to real business
challenges by tapping into the collective creativity of its employees
and suppliers.

The winners of the five Liberty Global Technology Awards are selected
according to input from a large number of senior executives across the
company. In this way, Liberty Global acknowledges its relationships with
its partners and suppliers, especially those relationships that have
structurally supported high level development and innovation across its
business.

The Technology Summit was also the stage for Liberty Global’s second TV
Appathon. Over 100 developers competed in teams over 48 hours to make
the most innovative, intuitive, unique, appealing and technically
superior TV app for Liberty Global’s next-generation video platform
Horizon TV.

The winning team from tech company aFrogleap created a ‘Horizon LIVE’
app which will be launched soon on Horizon’s TV App Store and as a
second screen app for smartphones and tablets. The app enables users to
select shows on Horizon’s Replay TV service based on the number of
interactions on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.

The TV Appathon is an annual event aimed at the countries where the
Horizon TV service is available, thereby opening up its ecosystem for
external TV app development and mobilizing both the international and
local development communities of content providers and developers.
Liberty Global’s TV App Store contains over 300 apps and is available to
more than two million customers in the Netherlands, Switzerland,
Ireland, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary.

The event was also attended by five young people from CoderDojo, a
global movement sponsored on a pan-European basis by Liberty Global that
provides young people with the opportunity to learn how to code. The
five CoderDojo participants won the opportunity to attend the Appathon
after developing coding projects that use technology to enrich and
improve people’s lives. During the event the young people were able to
further develop their concepts with the help and guidance of Liberty
Global’s team of coding experts.

Balan Nair, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of
Liberty Global, comments: “At the heart of our business lies our
commitment to deliver our customers great experiences and market-leading
broadband speeds through our next-generation network. Our partners play
a critical role in helping us achieve this aim, which is why we like to
take the opportunity each year to celebrate their work with us through
these awards.”
